Washed perfectly!

"I washed this in cold water, on delicate cycle, straightened the button placket and collar, and it drip-dried perfectly! You'd think it might need pressing being cotton, but it didn't. The construction is very well done. This is my first ModCloth dress, and I will be back for more."
